Southern Surveyor Voyage SS2012_V04 Pigment and Ocean Colour Data

Updated: 2015-12-11

This record contains data collected on the RV Southern Surveyor, in the Indian ocean between August and September 2012. Samples along the original cruise track were collected off Fremantle, and extra samples were collected between the Dampier Peninsula and Wannanup. The data can be used for Ocean Colour sensor validation. Parameters measured are the concentration of chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments and retrieved chlorophyll a estimate, and the absorption coefficient for particulate (a/p) and detrital or non-algal (a/d) components of the water column. 44 stations were sampled.
